This move didn't harm the Zheng Family at all; instead, it seriously damaged Jiang Yian's image in Elder Jiang's eyes. It was like losing the wife and the soldiers.
Of course, with Elder Jiang's financial strength, the loss of money wasn't enough to cause him any severe distress, at most it was just painful. But just thinking of the splendid scene of Jiang Yian being scolded gave me great satisfaction.
Moreover, given Jiang Yian's pig-headedness, if he messed up a few more times, Elder Jiang would genuinely consider kicking him off the list of heirs. After all, Elder Jiang had a reputation for his romantic exploits in his youth, with countless mistresses. But Elder Jiang's lineage was dwindling. His official wife only had one daughter, Jiang Ling. It was rare to have illegitimate children like Jiang Yian; otherwise, Elder Jiang wouldn't have let such an idiot come into our view.
